The toe boards had to come off and also the top of the torque box because of rust.
This is what was inside the torque box
The first patch

wow ! I felt bad for the ower at first then realized I wished my car had been hit and repaired by you long ago, but I'd have a heart attack if I saw my car disassembled and cut apart to that degree. I couldn't look until it was done. No I'd be too curios and excited not to see what was being done along the way. Good thing is it'll be better then new when completed !

Brian has the top of the torque box welded back together after epoxy priming the back side.

Almost makes me want to get hit and send my car down your way.
Just out of curiosity, how does it work when during the course of your repair you find old damage such as rust that require repair in the process of fixing accident related repairs?

Absolutely fantastic. I'm glad there are people as talented as you guys to save some of these cars that may not have made it otherwise. Top notch work!
